Question

I'm pregnant and my insurance does not cover maternity care?

Share

I just found out that I am five weeks pregnant and my current insurance (a Blue Cross Indivdual Plan that I've had for three years) does not cover maternity care. I filled out paperwork requesting that my husband and I be switch to a new family plan that covers prenatal expenses but I am so scared that they won't give me the new plan. Also, my first doctor's appointment is 6 days away and I'm worried I won't hear from my insurance company and I won't have time to seek alternative ways of managing pregnancy costs (like Medicaid) and I will have to pay out of pocket. Please help!
